🏏Australia vs. India: 3rd ODI at Rajkot on 27/09/2023 D/N🏏 - Page 31

Shaun: "AUS would be disappointed with the middle order woes which has been a cause of concern for them since the SA series, really fast starts and then losing clusters in the middle and end seems to have been the template that they have been following."

Chinmay Jariwal: "Australia were 230/2 after 30 overs. And you generally double the score from there on in this era. This is great comeback by Indian bowlers. They might well restrict Australia under 350."

Well they did restrict Aus around 350

NileshN: "Can we just appreciate how good Jadeja and Sundar have been on this wicket? Especially Sundar showing all his T20 bowling prowess."

Hari: "This is why Boom is No.1 bowler. Though you get taken apart for 10RPO, he leaves behind the past and focuses on his strengths. A cute slower cutter and a deadly yorker, suddenly his figures are different."

Matthew: "Think Australia were trading 20-30 more runs in favour of Carey producing a solid knock to give him some confidence. Since his one and only ODI ton just over 3 years ago, he's played 30 innings, and crossed 50 just 4 times. His strike rate is also of concern"

The highest ODI total on this ground but one feels Australia missed out on getting 400. Warner and Mitch Marsh started so well in the powerplay when the ball was hard and new. It came on well and the openers made the most of it. Warner after reaching 50 was feeling the effects of the heat and fell to Prasidh. Soon Mitch Marsh was joined by Smith and the duo strung a stand. But both batters again felt the heat of Rajkot and every over saw drinks being run out. Just before his 100, Marsh fell and then Siraj got Smith soon after. That and the soft ball slowed down the Australian innings. But Marnus carried on from there and even though wickets fell at the other end he continued to carry the team forward. India fought back and kept the total down to 352 when at one stage 400 and even more was a real possibility. A tall chase on the cards and it will be interesting to see how the Aussies bowl on this. Back for the chase in 20 minutes...

Tahir : "Pulling this one back nicely, men in blue"

Mitchell Marsh: Threw another one away didn’t I? Probably the hottest conditions I’ve faced, wicket was good but I was cooked by the end as you could see. Wicket was really good, we assessed the conditions very early and wanted to get as many as we could in the powerplay to set up a platform. Personally would’ve been nice to get another 4 runs but happy with our job. We’re going to change the pace, saw that it worked towards the back end there. Was nice, hopefully we can come out and do well, kickstart our India tour. As you saw the wicket slowed up a bit as the ball got older. Hopefully it does the same for us and 352 will be a few too many.
